Odd Prediction from Pete - #376
At some point in the near future, the GOP will pull the Privacy Card.
They will accuse the DNC, rightfully, of having a massive database of every voter in the US, with massive amounts of "private" information.
The GOP will argue that the DNC is doing something evil with this database.
AKA getting out the vote, improving voter registration, skewing elections in the favor of evil democrats, etc.
The RNC has been trying to implement a similar get out the vote system as the Obama/DNC version. It was an hilarious failure in 2012.
/note: I REALLY hope that the DNC continues to use this system for 2016 and doesnt make their candidates recreate the wheel. sigh

divisive people
something really terrible happened. I think it started with reagan.
the vilification of the other guy. certainly it was when I first noticed it.
people who LOVED him, and demonized you if you said ANYTHING NEGATIVE against st ronnie, esp while we were at war, or whatever.
it go worse during clinton.
Those same ronnie worshippers attacked the president from all sides, policy and family, call him horrible names and insulted the office.
and then it got worse again, with 2.0
HOW DARE YOU QUESTION GOD THE PRESIDENT WHILE WE ARE AT WAR?????
and then a black, secret, illegal alien won the white house.
AND ALL HELL broke loose.
So we were still at war, but it was OK TO ATTACK THAT GUY in the white house.
FUCK EM
I started shunning THOSE PEOPLE.
And it has made all the difference.

Mother's Day
(composed while sleep deprived and drunk)
I had an AMAZING opportunity with my mother.
SHe was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
This is a death sentence.
They send you home to die.
Seriously.
The experimental treatments at PLUTONIUM, injecting into the tumors.
This is not a FUN cancer, where with radiation and chemo you might have a slight chance of recovery.
This is go home and die.
OR agree to be part of one of the FEW experimental, and not hopeful experiments.
Dont get me wrong, the experiments ARE AWESOME. They expand the range of human knowledge and are awesome.
BUT!!
But we had a 6th month notice.
WE had the LUXURY of knowing, that my mom had 6 months to live. period. (she made it almost 6 months to the day).
Given that notice, I did what I could.
Saturday dinners. EVERY saturday. Until SHE was unable to travel.
The first one was near and easy.
The next one was at a place, that unknown to me, she had ALWAYS wanted to eat at, (Bernham - Atwood Cage), which is quite awesome.
Dinner was every Saturday.
Not everyone could make it. Not to every dinner, not to every location. But it was out of the house, until she couldn't travel anymore.
But it was FANTASTIC.
Unbelievable.
Different people. DIfferent places. Different times.
Sharing her life, and her friends and family.
We did it as long as she could travel.
I think she enjoyed it. I know that she said that she did.
I KNOW that others did.
I KNOW that pictures were taken and stories were told.
It was a celebration of life.
IT was amazing.
SO
What have you done?
You mother is alive?
Why dont you see here every day, week or month?
EVERY WEEK.
EVERY MONTH.
IF you do this, there is ZERO chance of regret when she dies.
ZERO ...
I can speak from experience.
As one of the accidental lucky few.
I had 6 months notice. I spent as much time as "I" could. I helped others where I could.
You have TODAY.
If it is the last day that you will ever see your mother, ....

The new GOP health care plan is AWESOME!
The GOP has not officially released their health care plan, but we have been able to figure out some of the details by listening to their complaints about Obamacare.
1) Your rates can never go up. You will pay the same or less than what you are currently paying.
2) You never have to change doctors, in fact, doctors will be required to take you as a patient.
3) You can never be dropped or denied for pre-existing conditions.
4) Birth control is covered for free.
5) All doctors will be in all networks
6) The government website with details about this plan will be available 24 x 7 x 365. It will work flawlessly on day one and never be slow, no matter how many people try to use it at one time.
7) Insurance companies will be banned from ever dropping a plan.
8) Only 8 million people signed up for Obamacare, the GOP plan would have many many more people covered.
9) Some number of people lost their coverage, that will be undone with GOPcare. They will get their old plans back, at the same premium.
10) All medicines will be covered, no matter what the cost.
No seriously.
We have been told, over and over, that these are the TERRIBLE things about Obamacare.
And the GOP keeps telling us that they will repeal Obamacare and replace it with something better.
Right?

online dating
We discriminate in ALL processes in life. ALL OF THEM.
discriminate - recognize a distinction; differentiate.
So I have been using okcupid as an attempt to differentiate.
The idea being that similar dating material is better than completely dissimilar.
This then begs the question of what should be selected on and what should not.
Dating Stupid - nope, been there, done that, HATE DATING STUPID
Dating Dancers - FFS, no, I dont want to go dancing!!
So there is a list of pros and cons, with varying levels of importance.
I would love to discuss this in detail next time with you and Irene.

HP printer from hell
1) I replaced all the ink and have always used genuine HO ink
DO NOT SUGGEST THAT I GET OTHER INK or that this is AN INK PROBLEM
2) I spent a few hours cleaning the original printhead.
DO NOT SUGGEST CLEANING THE INK HEAD
3) I ran align a number of times, that is INPOSSIBLE TO DO, no black ink = failed alignment
DO NOT SUGGEST running alignment
4) clean print heads function of the printed - I ran this a LARGE number of times, draining all of the ink from a full set of color cartigages. HINT THE COLORS PRINT. THE PHOTO BLACK PRINTS.
NO, I will NOT RUN the clean print head function again.
5) bought an genuinine replacement printhead.
SHOCK OF SHOCKS, black does NOT PRINT.
The colors still print.
Alignment can not run without black ink.
YES, I tried the cleaning function. STILL DOES NOT WORK.
THIS IS NOT the first time that this has been asked here or elsewhere.
WHAT do the engineers say is happening?
HAVE they investigated broken printers to determine what is wrong?
Is it fixable ??
PLEASE let me know what is wrong and if it is fixable.
HINT, you must be an engineer to answer this question.
If HP can not answer this question, given that LARGE number of people with this problem, PLEASE forward this to legal.
SERIOUSLY, if you cant fix this, it is time to get the lawyers involved for selling a defective product.
